That video literally broke my heart on many levels. First of all, you have a prominent, ahem, "Christian" leader spewing race-driven hate towards people of other nationalities, and specifically children of other nationalities. Let's review: Mr. Robertson says that a man doesn't want a "United Nations", or a "blended family" because the children might be "brain damaged", "sexually abused", and will grow up "weird". Wow.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about his response is biblical or becoming of a Christ-follower.
Someone please remind Mr. Robertson that the bible says we are all adopted sons and daughters of God (Ephesians 1:5). Someone please remind Mr. Robertson that even if someone (especially a child) has mental disorders, has been sexually abused, has mental or physical handicaps, or any other condition, it doesn't matter! We are to love them and "carry each others' burdens" (Galatians 6:2). Someone please remind Mr. Robertson that ALL of us are sinners, and our sin separates us from our holy God, and that ALL of us are "weird" (Romans 3:23) and that God still loves us in spite of our weirdness! (Romans 5:8) Someone please remind Mr. Robertson how important children are to Jesus (Matthew 19:14). Someone remind Mr. Robertson what John 3:16 says!
But above all, someone remind Mr. Robertson that it is this attitude of self-righteous, haughty religiocity that turns people away from Christ, sometimes forever. It would be different if this was a private conversation that Mr. Robertson was having, but this is a nationally syndicated television show on which he is claiming to represent Jesus. The worst thing about the video? A lost world looking for hope will see this and think, "If that's what this Jesus guy is about, I don't want anything to do with him." Truth is, nothing could be further from the truth of who Christ really is.
